It’s not a new method either. It was fleshed out originally by some of the main forgers who aren’t around any more, back in December. Vansten posted it and then modified it a bit after further conversation with folks. It you want a constant stream of useable forged gear and tools, that method is pretty much bread and butter.
It costs a little bit more but you can spend more and change the method some and get higher and better results, but again you’re going to have to toy with the method on your own once your comfortable with forging as a whole. It doesn’t take long to get used to it.
If you’re good with math in general, it’s pretty quick and easy to branch out in to your own fun after going over vanstens collaborative method.
Just know, at the end of the day sometimes RNG will rng and it’s going to suck. I had a session recently where I had to decon on the second boon 16 times in a row. Not a huge loss in mats but man it really sucks to restart over and over again.
No amount of ‘knowing what to do’ will fix that but of rng.
